| Abstract: | Purpose Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) are among the most used insecticides in agriculture, causing the inhibition of esterases
like acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and carboxylesterase (CbE). Pesticides can reach the aquatic
environment, posing risks to non-target organisms, including tadpoles. |
